Like sheep to the 'slaughter' of the Nou Camp

Real Madrid will not be imagined a worse situation to face the six days of Barcelona, leading to nine points for whites. With the defense shattered by injuries and face the loser in front will be presented at the 'slaughter' season. Without Marcelo, reprimanded, and without Robben, ejected in the final stretch by double yellow card.

Real Madrid has won it a pulse and not worth the excuses. Even after the victory of misleading Sevilla (3-4) at a Bernabeu on fire by the civil war that lives the institution and fiercest in the Assembly on Sunday morning.

Sevilla took the game with a lot of luck, despite the fact that I had won at the break with two goals ahead. It was laid back, Real Madrid has corrected a bit by drawing its entry Drenthe after the break and took to his rival on the ropes: two goals from a stroke, two shots to the crossbar, playmaking controversial area in Seville. But in the end with the expulsion of Robben and Schuster Players from dumps and exhausted, reached the goal of the tiebreaker, the coup de grace for Renato.

Others banquet at home

To begin with, the Madrid, broken and unbalanced by its own configuration, gave his rival all the facilities to give a banquet in the coliseum white. Those of Schuster were nothing: each entry Navas on the right opposite the ínclito Marcelo was an invitation to dial. Without exploiting the band everything they could, without using the left lane of Salgado-nothing more than a rise of Fernando Navarro that ended in scoring, and abusing the tickets through the center, where Madrid could defend a little better, Sevilla was well above Real Madrid.

The seville Romaric Duscher and easily dominated the midfield. Despite the efforts of Gago, with Guti in the Inopia and Van der Vaart out of chub, the Madrid could not raise more outbursts of resistance to the caste of Raul and the skills of Robben in the race. Isolated phenomena in a flat world.

Sevilla's first attempt, three minutes of game: center Navas, jump to the absence of Casillas and the head of Hadrian. 0-1 in the Bernabeu and the pot of burning the house. The picture hardly managed Raul, also head of a launch of Guti, because the tie did not last thing: Navas, with the ball stopped, beaten and sent to the head of Romaric. Cannavaro protested because she had pushed Kanouté in the play, but nothing helped him to Italy.

The Madrid was rolled up as he could rest, without receiving more impact than the third goal of Kanouté, following the route on the left by Fernando Navarro. In the absence of football, screaming in the stands, "Calderon resigned."

Sevilla resigns

But just resigned Sevilla: slow, passive, scared to death. Wasting time in the vicinity of their area with 40 minutes to play. In that spirit, and a more determined Madrid, ended up cornered. It would be so bold as to see in the entrance of Drenthe by Van der Vaart to the Madrid cell that metamorphoses. Something did. Certainly much more than his compatriot Rafael. But the improvement was more for assignment of Seville and shame bullfighter of the players that have to change tactics by.

The Madrid marked two goals in two minutes, the first of a zapatazo Higuaín, the second an auction of Gago to the head, the ball served by Guti. Sevilla got rid completely ceded the whole, offered his corpse. Palop made two great stops, one at Robben, another to Raul. The comeback was on the fingertips of Madrid. Nobody remembered that the Ramon Calderon.

But the ball did not want to go when he's forced Madrid. An auction of Robben to a stick and move Higuaín, with the intervention of the crossbar (Palop from the penalty after the Argentine referee ignored) ended the rabid white-geste. And, just after this latest move, protested Robben, left Madrid with 10 and was cleared for the Camp Nou.

Sevilla breathed. He found the ball again and not because Fazio had revealed to Romaric. Quite simply, the Madrid had already burned all their bullets. And in one of three arrivals to the area of Casillas, at 90 minutes, with Marcelo lost somewhere in the countryside, Kanouté got by the left flank and his heart was tempered at the head of Renato.
